Weird Phobia's

After a long night of browsing the web I came across a few weird phobias. Some people are afraid of the most mundane things you can think of. I know they say the mind is a powerful thing but how do you convince yourself that you are afraid of the following things:

Arithmophobia- Fear of numbers.
How can one be afraid of numbers, aren't they like everywhere we look?

 

Barophobia- Fear of gravity. 
Mmm...This one seamed a bit far fetched. (please note that this is not the fear of falling or heights but simply of gravity itself)

 

Cathisophobia- Fear of sitting 
I guess if you have to stand for the rest of your life you will at least have a great pare of calves. I want to see these people get into bed. 

Dutchphobia- Fear of the Dutch.  
This must be my favorite one :)

Hygrophobia- Fear of liquids, dampness, or moisture 
I guess offering them a glass of water or a cup of tea is out of the question.

 

Meteorophobia- Fear of meteors 
This is a very valid fear and I understand where it is coming from but really Meteors?

Metrophobia- Fear of poetry.  
This was probably firstly diagnosed in kids who didn't want to do their homework.

So that's our list of weird phobias. I will be searching the web for more bizarre phobias for you to enjoy.
